Whatever he says will be called Bullshit anyway by so called fans.I see none of them step forward to purchase the club.Most of the football clubs are owned by people who have no affinity to the clubs.If the Valley and Sparrow Lane are only 40 odd million. Then purchase it yourselves. OK to spend other people's money rather it went on the team.Then revist it further down the line.Lets get out of this poxy league

I’ve also given him a potted history of what Methven has been doing this Summer 👍 It will be good to see a proper CAFC fan, and one who is widely respected within the fanbase, given access to Methven. Today for the first time I looked in on the above mentioned forum and also not 606. Bloody hell what a load of waffling crap. I'd be inclined to let them wade through the cesspits they are in for they bound to sink without trace. Well Nicky boy didn't work the oracle after all and get his minnions on the radio. Perhaps he didn't send the paperwork in!!! 😂😂😂 |

I thought he was very pragmatic and grounded…. Evolution rather than revolution….

All fairly sensible and down to earth. Nothing we haven’t heard before, but from my perspective the messages are the right ones.

One of the paragrahps from my post on Tuesday was written as follows: The club have a bit of a problem as things currently stand because the belief from my source is that only one of the interested parties can get any kind of deal done and dusted without it affecting the planning for next season. The other three including Spiegel's won't happen quickly and that's not not what Sandgaard wants. The main man of the only group who can make this happen pretty pronto is an American who is well known to us who might flip it at some point but quite likes the idea of running an English Football Club and wants to have some fun first and see where he can take us. Charlie has confirmed tonight what I said in the bottom paragraph of what I wrote back in April. Flipping is on on the back burner. GB and JF like the idea of running an English Football Club and want to have some fun first and see where it can take us. |

The opposition to Charlie has in my opinion always been pathetic.
From the criticism of his clothing to the club he supports to the accent he has. Inverted snobbery and frankly embarrassing.
This opposition has mostly come (I would imagine/fantasise) from supply teacher types who have unkempt beards , leather patches on the elbows of their tweed mothball smelling jackets, grey socks with mountain climbing hessian sandals with the faint whiff of nans packed egg and watercress sandwiches- to say nothing of the carrot and celery free range soup contained in slightly stained but beloved thermos flasks.
The same dipsticks who have criticised Reams every step of the way when he has shared information and have cried into nannies apron because it wasn’t them.
The ones that are still waiting for Peter Varney and Andrew Barclay to come to the table and gave Shitegaard a relatively easy ride for taking us backwards.

One of the most accurate descriptions of 50% of our fanbase I've ever read. Fantastic 😂 |

For me CM came across well. Whatever he said the mouthpieces with half a brain wouldn’t have been pleased.
Fairly optimistic on the times ahead. I believe in the vision and the calibre of the investors and SMT on board.

Spoke pretty well I thought , the backlash on other sites and social media is tragic, people just hoping the new owners fail, just to say I told you so .

Quite right- but if Andrew Barclay had tweeted all Charlie had said whilst Peter Varney accompanied him on fretless bass it would have been more revered than the 10 commandments. |

Some people as i said before should not be let out... in public if their posts are anything to go by
People are desperate to find something wrong now they can't find anything they turned back to not buying the ground / TG again..

Andrew Barclay left the club to die because he could not get his hands on the valley and training ground before TS took over.. Was never interested in the football side |

Worth reading. A good summary of where we’re at and, in my view, both measured and positive. |

The ones that are still waiting for Peter Varney and Andrew Barclay to come to the table and gave Shitegaard a relatively easy ride for taking us backwards. Some of us watched the evolution of the criticism on CL and these critics presented mild smirks when Sandgaard terminated the initial bid mid February. From "Who are the backers?" and "Look what Sunderland fans say" to "why didn't we sign anybody decent" and "Spiegel/ anybody else must be better". Well there wasn't anybody else, was there?! Barclay ruled himself out unless the property was included - a handy way to rule himself out as the football doesn't appeal. And yes these same critics bemoaned Reams and this site because they weren't in the know. Why would anybody play them ITK with their remorseless nostalgic criticism? And when the takeover was announced, all they wanted to know was the percentages. Not a single comment about the challenges ahead nor the football. The fact that we are about to appoint the first Technical Director in our history - somebody who is somewhat more experienced than Martin Sandgaard and Steve Gallen. "Nothing is gonna work... we haven't had a decent board since 2012...etc. etc." Except we've seen the type of player released and those arriving. We've heard what Dean Holden has to say. And we all share the levels of hope and anticipation as we approach 5th August. Like Sandgaard before them, these critics have set themselves up to fail through a complete absence of understanding of the actual game itself! One could go on but it's repetitive! Let's just acknowledge that CAFC is a great club, playing the greatest game! A perfect mix of burning cash whilst working hard, and praying to the football gods for the ball, ref and weather to be kind. Such a shame that some become so bitter 😀 |

You could tell CM was a bit triggered about the Netflix documentary. There must be a big part of him that wants to prove a lot of people wrong especially Sunderland supporters

I totally understand why some fans are sceptical. Charltons fan base is right to be sceptical, the last few ownerships have been a disaster.
But I can’t fault anything that they have done so far. I thought Charlie spoke well, made some good assessments as to where we are currently as a football club and I can’t fault the window so far at all. All the signings so far have been genuinely impressive (especially if we sign Edun as expected).
Fans can be cautious, but I’d suggest the fans who are feeling negative about this take over, see where this goes before trying to slander CM and the new investors on twitter and spread conspiracy theories…
We all want Charlton to be successful, as a club we’ll do much better if we’re pulling in the same direction.

There must be a big part of him that wants to prove a lot of people wrong especially Sunderland supporters The same people who crave failure and they call themselves Charlton fans. It didn't take long for the “Eton” stuff to start once the onterview had finished did it? Honestly it really is pathetic. Nobody takes that forum seriously anymore, that is why so many people have joined ITTV during the last month or two, over 100 infact. There used to be some good knowledgable people on CL who knew their football and would create good balanced discussion. Nowadays they have long gone and the average age of the place seems to have taken a massive dip with quite a few absolutely clueless about the game. You can tell just by reading some of the rubbish that is posted on there. They hunt in packs and go with the majority however wrong that majority is. It's on it's last legs if you ask me. Has the numbers but that's it, bigger is certainly not better. It offers nothing apart from negativity and spitefulness. A real bullyboy culture that shares it's blood line with CARD. |

Thought Charlie came across well but my only concern is that when questioned about investing in players he said it’s the fans who fund that e.g. tickets so not expecting money from them. Secondly they are using a data analytics firm to source players for Dean to look at which didn’t seem to work at all before.

Secondly they are using a data analytics firm to source players for Dean to look at which didn’t seem to work at all before. Yeah I picked up on the fan funded thing would like to know what he meant there. I hope continued investment will happen aside from fan money. In terms of data it’s necessary for clubs these days to be data-driven, that said I’m not convinced we’ve ever been data driven so far. Ben Garner come in and we sign three ex-Swindon players, we need a couple of signings up top and sign Aneke and Bonne, neither of who are fit or score goals, so not sure what kind of data was driving that. Much happier with what the proverbial black box is throwing out in this window mind you. |
